Instructions not clear

Post #1 of 6 (2759 views)

To Whom It May Concern:

I need help setting up an SPF record. The domain for which I am
attempting to set up an SPF record is testaloha.com. I have logged onto
http://spf.pobox.com and used the SPF Setup Wizard. After answering the
questions on this page and clicking the "Explain" button, it returned
the following information:

If you run BIND

Paste this into your zone file:

testaloha.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 mx ptr -all"

and

So this should also appear in DNS. You may or may not be in charge of
the DNS for these entries; if you are, add them.

dfw1-server04.alohaenterprise.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a -all"

However, I am not very clear on where to add the above information.
Should the above information be added in DNS tree on my DNS server for
testaloha.com? Does the above information need to be added to the text
file C:\WINNT\system32\dns\testaloha.com.dns?

Could you please provide specific instructions detailing where the above
information should be added in DNS?

Thank you in advance,

You might want to consult your dns software's manual, as it seems you do
not fully understand how dns works.

Is dfw1-server03.alohaenterprise.com a server you mantain?? Are you
running bind? I guess not, since you seem to be running windows. In that
case, use the appropriate means for editting the zones in your dns
server.

If you don't know how to do this, either read the manual of your dns
software or search the archive of spf-help and spf-discuss, there are
some explanations of how to use windows dns software.

You seem to be implying that Bind does not run under NT.
I assure you it does.

Thats a very old version! I use Bind 9.3.rc4 on some of my Windows 2000
and XP machines. You can download the latest version from the ISC ftp site:
ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/contrib/
